Biography
Nicky Grigg works in interdisciplinary teams on a diverse range of projects concerned with global change and social-ecological systems.
Currently she leads the Navigating Sustainability Transitions project with the Valuing Sustainability Future Science Platform [https://research.csiro.au/vsfsp/] (https://research.csiro.au/vsfsp/).
She is also part of the CSIRO team reviewing regional drought resilience plans funded by the Future Drought Fund https://www.agriculture.gov.au/agriculture-land/farm-food-drought/drought/future-drought-fund/regional-drought-resilience-planning.
Recently completed projects include:
* Climate Adaptation in the Coorong https://goyderinstitute.org/project/climate-adaptation/
* Pacific Knowledge Brokering for Climate Adaptation [https://research.csiro.au/pkb/knowledge-brokering-support-program/] (https://research.csiro.au/pkb/knowledge-brokering-support-program/)
She brings experience in mathematical modelling and analysis of social-ecological systems. Her PhD research involved measuring and modelling impacts of burrowing animals on aquatic sediment biogeochemistry. In her postdoctoral fellowship she worked on the implications of nonlinear dynamics on mathematical modelling of ecological systems. In her subsequent work at CSIRO she has worked on a diverse range of projects, from local scale (e.g. the biogeochemical response of the Coorong to drought) to national scale (e.g. what builds social-ecological resilience in Australia?).
